A museum in the Philippines is redefining art appreciation.
Instead of forbidding touching, "Art in Island" encourages visitors to become a part of the artwork by posing in front of it.
Created by a group of Korean artists, the museum features over 100 3D paintings designed for optimum interactive enjoyment.
SOUNDBITE: Alexandra Carlos, fine arts student, saying (Filipino):
"When you visit, you see all these weird paintings, but when you angle your camera in such a way, you see that the person posing will be part of the paintings as well, making it interactive."
Each hallway sports a different theme, including somewhat modified works of masters like Da Vinci.
The museum hopes to expand its collection in the future and offer a workshop on how to paint 3D images.
Which could give these temporary models the opportunity to become artists.
